What Are the Causes of Cardiac Arrhythmia?
Characterized as abnormal heart rates or rhythms, cardiac arrhythmias have numerous causes. Identifying the root cause of the arrhythmia determines the course of treatment and types of medications used to correct the arrhythmia. Frequently a physician will require the patient to undergo diagnostic tests to determine the exact cause and identify any other facts that may have contributed to the cardiac arrhythmia, or which may cause future disruptions in heart rate and rhythm.
